The
PRM Electric Shift system provides a proven,
cost-effective method of controlling both
mechanical and electronic marine drivelines.
Complementing the fully electronic control option of
PRM's Marine Propulsion Control system, the
Electric Shift valve can be supplied factory
fitted or retrofitted to all current (PRM260
to PRM1750) and most of the older PRM
gearbox models.
Comprising a solenoid control valve that is actuated by
two electrical coils, the system utilizes
PRM's standard valve block to achieve fast
and effective gear shifting on all types of
vessel.
A purpose-designed lever is available from PRM to meet
the need of the mechanically controlled
engines fitted with electric shift
gearboxes.
Similarly, the Morse KE-5 control system can be used to
provide all-electronic operation of
driveline installations with electronically
controlled engines. In addition, all systems
have the option of single or twin lever
controls for multiple stations.
For added safety, the PRM electric shift system also
offers manual override in the event of an
on-board electrical power failure. |
